Ooo baby we were sinking in that bottle
pouring through the photographs
and all the words we swallowed
Ooo baby i been swimmin in my whiskey
thinkin of the times i should have
asked you to come with me
but i set my sights too high
cause you were, the one that i could stand by
you were born with a tear in your eye
and it's hard now, harder than we realized
so i set myself to wander all the while
Ooo sisters in my sleep
will you take all of the photographs
and hang them in my dreams?
will you take all of the memories
and all the good and bad
you can hang them in the belfry
and never look back
ooo baby we were straight out from a circus
dancing down the tightropes
with our blessings and our burdens
ooo baby we were closing up the curtains
holding back the stolen laughs
in bottles filled with bourbon
but i set my sights too high
cause you were, the one that i could stand by
you were born with a tear in your eye
and it's hard now, harder than we realized
so i set myself to wander all the while
Ooo sisters in my sleep
will you take all of the photographs
and hang them in my dreams?
will you take all of the memories
and all the good and bad
you can hang them in the belfry
and never look back
